§ 11.

The Legal Advocacy Service shall make available counsel for eligible persons by referral or by contracting for legal services to the extent practicable. The Legal Advocacy Service shall make a good faith effort to assist eligible persons to engage private counsel, and to contact private counsel for eligible persons whose disabilities limit their capacity to independently contact private counsel. If the Legal Advocacy Service is unable to so make available counsel, it shall provide attorneys in its own employ. Taking into consideration the availability of private counsel in the eligible person's local area, the Commission shall establish, by rule, the standards and procedures by which it will attempt to assist eligible persons to engage private counsel.
